EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1984, we see Saturday presenter Sarah Green taking charge of a rigorous workout session at The Queen Mother Sports Centre in Victoria. Her focus is on two remarkable individuals - John Conteh and Richard Evans. On the left, we have the legendary boxer John Conteh, known for his skill and determination inside the ring. And on the right stands Richard Evans, who astonishingly ran an entire marathon only two weeks after being fitted with a pacemaker. John and Richard are not just ordinary athletes; they lead the six-strong British Heart Foundations Pacemaker team for the upcoming London Marathon. Their goal? To raise awareness and seek sponsorship for heart research through their incredible athletic feat. This powerful image captures their unwavering commitment to both physical fitness and supporting a cause close to their hearts - quite literally. It serves as a reminder that even in challenging circumstances, one can overcome adversity with determination and resilience. Photographed by Andy Hosie during an era defined by its vibrant energy and enthusiasm for health and exercise, this snapshot encapsulates the spirit of sport in the 1980s. It also highlights how individuals like John Conteh, Richard Evans, and Sarah Green can inspire others to push boundaries while making a positive impact on society's well-being. As we gaze upon this timeless photograph print today, it reminds us of our own potential to achieve greatness when driven by passion and purpose.
